CDC panel recommends mRNA vaccines over J&J

An advisory panel to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Thursday unanimously voted to give a preferential recommendation to mRNA vaccines, like those made by Pfizer and Moderna, over the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine due to rare but serious blood clots, Fox Business reports.

Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, endorsed the policy several hours after the vote.
